The 9 nights following Amavasai (new moon night) are dedicated for the worship of the Mother Goddess and are celebrated as Navarathiri Festival. This Navaratri is also called as Sharada Navarathiri or Sharad Navarathiri. At home, devotees set up the Golu – steps on which idols and statues are placed - showcasing the omnipresence of Shakthi. The various manifestations of Shakthi are worshiped over the nine nights.
